《The Cruel Tyrant》70
Advertisement
However, Su Mu, who was just about to go lay down, heard a slight disturbance, so he immediately put on the robe he had just taken off and walked to the window.
A nimble figure in the night sky quickly flew towards Su Mu, and appeared on the roof of the building opposite Su Mu in the blink of an eye. The surrounding soldiers immediately pointed their weapons at the newcomer, but the vigilance on Su Mu's face was soon replaced by surprise. Staring at the person in front of him, his emotions unsteady: "Princess Qingshuang."
Su Mu closed his eyes and suppressed the disturbance in his heart. He flew out of the window and landed opposite Princess Qingshuang.
Dressed in an easy to move agile outfit, the other appeared exceptionally handsome and valiant. Her deep eyes looked at the obviously affected Su Mu as she said: "Long time no see, Your Highness."
Su Mu tried hard to control his emotions, and asked in a displeased tone: "What exactly do you want?" Su Mu didn't believe that her appearance here was just to see the sights.
Princess Qingshuang was not the slightest bit intimidated by Su Mu's aura. She folded her arms behind her back, eyes misted over as she looked at the new moon up in the sky, speaking almost as if to herself: "My sister died for you, but you don't seem to take her to heart."
She spoke in a calm and gentle tone, but Su Mu felt a trace of killing intent.
Su Mu looked at her and said, "So what? Are you here to gain justice for her? To kill me?"
Didn't take her to heart?
In the past, Su Mu never believed that one person's heart could be completely occupied by another person, leaving no gaps, until he became Su Mochi and received all his memories. No one knew better than Su Mu how much Su Mochi loved Qingxue. If destroying the world could bring Qingxue back to life, Su Mochi would destroy the world without hesitation; and in the same vein, if saving the world meant Qingxue could come back to life he would also not hesitate at all. The root of Su Mochi's madness was not in Su Mochi's love for Qingxue, nor Qingxue's love for him, but that only Qingxue loved him in this world.

Princess Qingshuang turned around calmly, a charming smile at the corner of her lips but eyes extremely cold: "Originally, I wanted you to be buried with my sister, but I can't beat you." She looked at Su Mu who was still trying to control his emotions, and said: "But there is always a way, right?"
"Crazy woman!" Su Mu cursed severely, enduring the emotions of anger and sorrow.
Qingshuang spoke disapprovingly: "How about we make a deal?"
Su Mu turned around to leave, not at all interested.
With a smile at the corners of Qingshuang's lips, she looked at Su Mu's back and said: "Confer the title of Princess Consort to my sister."
Mental!
Su Mu didn't even have the desire to speak. This Princess Qingshuang was obviously similar to Su Mochi, obsession turning into madness.
"Otherwise, I will kill your male pets." Princess Qingshuang looked at Su Mu, and said calmly, "Gu Yunzhou, I can't do anything about, but the others are much easier targets."
Su Mu was most disgusted with being threatened by others. He looked at Princess Qingshuang dangerously and said, "You will die before that."
"Why don't we give it a try?" Qingshuang seemed to be satisfied with her proposal and smiled happily.
Su Mu clenched his fists and looked at the mentally abnormal woman opposite and said, "Qingxue is dead."
The smile on her face instantly disappeared, and Qingshuang turned her head to look at Su Mu with a dark expression: "So you can forget her and erase her existence?"
She stared at Su Mu fiercely, her anger almost burning away her sanity: "On the night before her death, I had arranged for someone to take her away, but the news I received the next day was that she was already dead. I found her body in a mass grave outside the city! And you? Where were you? Even if you couldn't get away at the time, what about afterwards?"
Qingshuang looked at Su Mu angrily and said, "After that, you forgot all about her, everyday hanging out with a palace full of male playthings."
Su Mu felt a dull pain in his heart, and his eyes also felt a little dry. He looked directly into Qingshuang's angry eyes: "If possible, Su Mochi is willing to exchange anything for her rebirth, but the facts cannot be changed, Qingxue will not come back to life no matter what you do."

Qingshuang slowly stepped back and looked at Su Mu as she said, "So I want to take everything back for her, including you!"
This woman was simply mentally sick. Su Mu took a big breath, unwilling to bother with her anymore and turned away.
Unexpectedly, Qingshuang's sneer came from behind him: "His Royal Highness is really heartless. If this is the case, then don't blame me hehehe....."
Su Mu instantly turned around, but Qingshuang's figure had already disappeared into the night. Su Mu frowned and was really afraid that this crazy woman would do something. This kind of lunatic would never speak reason with you, just act according to their own wishes, just like Su Mochi before.
Su Mu returned to the room and lay on the bed but couldn't sleep restfully at all.
The next day, although he went to bed late, because he had to get up early every day in the imperial city to attend morning assembly, Su Mu habitually woke up early. After breakfast, he planned to go back to the imperial city immediately. After all, as the head of the New Laws it was unsuitable for him to be away for too long, otherwise many things could not be decided.
It was just that unexpectedly, as soon as Su Mu walked down the stairs, a soldier reported: "Paying respects to Your Highness, Princess Qingshuang requests an audience."
Su Mu frowned and looked towards the door. Sure enough, a slender and graceful woman in a palace robe walked in. She took off her veil, revealing tender white cheeks colored with a faint blush, cherry lips that were tender and lovely, and a delicate nose. That pair of bright eyes were also as intoxicating as autumn water. After seeing Su Mu, she showed a charming smile, her voice melodious like a black-naped oriole. Her whole person was completely different from the twisted and crazy Qingshuang of last night.
"Your Highness, it's been a long time!"
It was fortunate that Su Mu liked men and would not be captured by her beauty, but the emotions that belonged to Su Mochi once again flared. However, this time Su Mu would not be so easily affected. He calmly walked down the stairs, the corner of his mouth tugging up into a half-smile, and said, "Princess Qingshuang, hope you are well."
Su Mu didn't understand what the other was playing at, did she intend to harass him from morning to night?
They both had perfect and hypocritical smiles on their faces as they sat opposite each other on the chairs. Su Mu looked at her and asked: "Why has the Princess come to Anyang County? Planning to go back to the Shi kingdom?"
Qingshuang smiled and said, "That's not it, why would I be willing to leave the picturesque scenery here in Qing kingdom?"
The smile on Su Mu's face became cold, and he said, "What exactly do you want to do? Shi Ran having you come to the Qing kingdom should not be for a leisurely tour of the Qing kingdom's mountains and rivers."
"Naturally." Princess Qingshuang replied, seeming to have no intention to hide her motive: "His Majesty learned of the transaction between Your Highness and the Wu kingdom, and ordered me to take the technology that Your Highness gave to the Wu kingdom."
Su Mu was a little surprised, he didn't expect her to be so straightforward: "Do you think you can take it from me?"
Princess Qingshuang shook her head and smiled as she said: "Of course I know that it would be difficult to take anything from Your Highness, but taking it from Sun Haoran's hands would be a much easier task."
Su Mu smiled and did not respond to that, and instead said to Qingshuang: "If the Princess wants to tour the rivers and mountains of Qing kingdom, then please help yourself, Ben Gong still has important matters to take care of and will not accompany the Princess."
Qingshuang smiled, eyes deep, as she replied, "I don't dare to trouble Your Highness."

The Five Series - redemption
Book 1 - Redemption Three generations have passed since the last near-apocalyptic war. Civilization is beginning to thrive again at an ever increasing pace. The burden of society has been once again placed on the back of a massive robotic workforce, creating a huge divide between industrial glory, and those forced to live in its shadow. Many have stubbornly held onto the old ways of self-governance from back when the government fell, but with its return, life in Welan City is changing. Aaron, a middle-aged man, who is stuck in the rut of daily life, witnesses a murder and finds himself in trouble, love, and the middle of a highly secretive robotics project. Aaron stakes his life on helping a prototype survive, and pays for it dearly. Passionate hate, love, and indifference send life in Welan City spiraling out of control, leaving no one innocent in the end. The Five Series is, well, a series. I've completed 3 of the books so far and will finish with a fourth, maybe fifth book. Book 1 is heavy on the character development side while the following will be much more decision and consequence oriented. This story reaches into the soul of a person and the universe we live in. Some people deserve a second chance, and some do not. With that im mind, no one really ever gets what they deserve though, do they? Always tell the people you care about that you love them as often as you can, they could be gone tomorrow. Would that change if you could always bring them back? I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. Cody

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
